Deadline approaching for Grad Visa to USA
Did you graduate from college or university in 2018? Maybe you are considering spending the next few months or years travelling? There are many options open to Irish passport holders to live and work further afield. Apart from Europe, we’ve several bilateral visa agreements open to us with countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. To get a visa for Canada, it’s relatively straightforward and you have until the age of 35 to use this versatile 2-year visa option.
The same can be said for Australia and New Zealand where you can go up until the age of 35 years old and 30 years old respectively. The US is however, different. The work visa options open to us Irish are more restrictive. Apart from the J1 Summer work and travel visa, we’re so familiar with, there is just one other option to spend any significant amount of time working in the USA which is the 1 Year Graduate USA Visa.
This programme allows third level graduates and students the opportunity to spend one year working and travelling in the US. All participants of this visa must activate their visa within 12 months of finishing college (so you will have to have gone to college in the first place).
